"The main cause of instability". Sibiga believes Russia has no place in the OSCE

Russia should not have a place in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), as it has violated all 10 basic principles of the Helsinki Act. This was stated in an interview with the Finnish broadcaster Yle said the Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiga.

According to him, Russia should have no place in the OSCE.

"I oppose Russia's membership in the organization. A country that has violated all 10 basic principles of the Helsinki Act should not be a member of this organization," the Foreign Minister said.

He reminded that the OSCE was created in completely different conditions – during the Cold War. According to Sibiga, Russia is using the organization to its advantage.

Ukraine believes that the OSCE needs to be reformed, and a country that violates the organization's principles could be expelled from membership.

"It cannot be that one state is blocking the work of the entire organization, which aims to improve security. Russia is the main cause of instability and deterioration of security in Europe," Sibiga said.

• On July 31, Zelenskyy said during a speech at an OSCE conference that Russia it is possible to force an end to the war in Ukraine, but without regime change, it will continue its aggression against neighboring countries.
• At the same time, the President of Finland said that the establishment of any of relations between Russia and Europe will be possible only after peace is achieved in Ukraine, but these relations will be different from those that existed before the war.
